May Week 2 For photo in a frame, I saw this person taking things out of their trunk and despite being early evening and having clear blue skies, this trunk created the perfect dreamlike sunset. The frame of it is like a portal to an alternate universe. The hint of a promise but in reality but a bit of imagination.

This week, we were tasked with props. While I had none, I thought perhaps this leaf could act as a leaf. Here this caterpillar is too high to know how hard the fall is. Who knows, maybe before the fall it will fly first.

The night assembles as the sun sets, but when it rises how do you know it is day? Without bad, there would be not good, but if good becomes bad and bad becomes good, what is it really? when abuse drowns out love, it is a beast unleashed–sometimes it creeps below the surface or within your shadow. other times it is as violent as a hurricane tearing everything in its pass, but in the eye of the storm is it love? when the tempest settles and the lines are blurred with destruction, what have you become? While I was at the library one day, I saw how tight the twists…

All living things have threads that connect us to one another. They are the strings of fate. The string of life. Like many, trees also have souls. Their very existence shower us with love, fuel our very life. They have a big heart much like mothers. Interconnected with our world and the ones beyond, many just don’t have a chance to grasp it.

January Week 2 For this week’s photo, I was inspired by the moonlight falling on this flower. I had to search up what color grading is and found it very interesting. I am not quite sure if I did it correctly though. So, I made a few other variations. See below!

They’re at odds. In a game of balance, are is perception the judge or the winner. In the natural world, who will win? Left or right?

November Week 2 This week, we are to capture an image using the rules of thirds to show emotion. I wanted to create a sense of nostalgia with this image. Additionally I wanted to illustrate the feeling of not wanting to let go. To grow old is not to age, age is to say a goodbye to the inner child. It is to refuse to see the wise. It is refuse to welcome the new year. To be old is to be alive. To be alive is to explore the wonders that come your way and never be too afraid to say no, even when shaking with fear.

October Week 2 Our challenge this week was to fill the frame with one color. I took the opportunity to capture the shades of this green beloning to this fly. It almost looks pretty.

September Week 2 In Photoshop we learned how to create symmetry. Since I felt photographing a real person would be exposing, I chose to use one of my first paintings. To create this image I had to crop the half the image and relfect the duplicate. I did this for each side of the face. Then I combined them together to make the faces symmetrical. and It’s really funny how when I draw I usually want the face to be symmetrical, however, now that I see it in actuality if imperfection is the key.

May Week 2 Geometry surrounds us, bewitching us –bewitching us –with false justifications of humanities superiority.  But when bridges fall,  Scrapers topple, and green runs wild,  Who is left standing? . . .
